I like to listen to music or books while I work, and I have to drive a work vehicle a few times a day, and a big forklift to do my job. Both have a radio built in but no easy way to connect my phone to listen to my own stuff. I eventually found that I actually enjoy listening to the radio, especially the local news updates.
Once I realised that, I thought “oh god I’m turning into my dad”
I’m 30 and haven’t liked the radio since I was around 10 (aka when I got my first CD played)
I’ve been using sync since 2017ish or so and the long absences didn’t bother me nearly as much because reddit wasn’t constantly changing like Lemmy is. I happily paid for sync for reddit, but I won’t pay for sync for Lemmy until he commits to at least fixing annoying small issues whenever a new Lemmy version drops. I’ve defended the author in the past but I’m honestly getting quite frustrated with the lack of updates and radio silence for months at a time while Lemmy is dropping updates quite often. I don’t care about new features, just maintain parity with the latest Lemmy version, I’m sick of my posts showing as unread when I know I’ve read them.
Just small updates to keep up with new Lemmy versions, no need to make huge updates all the time, the app is already awesome, it just needs to maintain parity with Lemmy. Or at least acknowledge that he’s aware of the problems and will be fixing them, I don’t need a timeline but just a “hey I hear you, I’m working on the next update” would be much better than constantly disappearing.
All that said, I still have an immense amount of respect for LJ and I hope he’s doing well. This is just an app for nerds, real life takes priority obviously and I understand that. But I’m frustrated at how long it’s taking to fix basic bugs like posts not showing as read.
Unfortunately true, but at least Poilievre is nowhere near as batshit crazy as the republicans are. Still fucking sucks that the cons are most likely going to win though. At best things will continue to get slowly worse like they already are, and at worst, things will degrade faster.
Either way the average Canadian isn’t getting any help from whoever wins the next election.
Huh interesting, it shows up as a gif when I send it as a text, guess I’ll have to upload gifs to a 3rd party website next time.
My bad.
Edit: Does this show as a gif for anyone else? I’m using sync and that just shows a static picture unless I click on it.
Jesus. Anything over 20c is too much for me. I can’t even fathom what 50c feels like and I hope I never have to experience that.
Yeah, we in Canada aren’t having the greatest time unless you already own a house or are very well off already. No working class person is gonna be buying a house without god tier credit and skimping on everything as much as possible and even then itll be insanely hard. Rent? Went from 1800 for an old but well maintained 3 bedroom in 2017 in a nice neighbourhood to 3 fucking grand for a run down shit hole 3 bedroom in a sketchy neighbourhood with a slum lord. That was mid 2022. Shits only gotten worse since then.
Where I live you basically have only 3 options for work. Minimum wage like grocery stores, fast food etc(which are 90% TFWs cause nO oNe WaNtS tO wOrK). Government jobs for people with an education. Construction/camp jobs if you want more than minimum wage without a degree, but your old age is gonna be worse than it already is due to trading your body for a higher wage.
I’m all for good people coming here, but make sure you know what you’re getting into first. It’s fucking expensive to live here unless you wanna live in a shit hole small town (which has its own hidden expenses that eat into the savings on rent)
Where’s the line? Should normal people also not be able to have German Shepard’s since they’re also dangerous if not raised properly? I had a GS in the past and she was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had, amazing and funny personality and insanely loveable. But that’s because she was brought up in a house where she was treated right and raised right.
Blame the dumbass owners not the dogs themselves ffs. Just because you or someone else is scared of certain dogs doesn’t mean they should be blanket banned for everyone.
Same here, mushrooms are the one thing I never grew out of hating. Everything about them is disgusting to me from the weird texture, the way they look, and the mouldy/dirty taste they have. Mushrooms are pretty much the only food I 100% refuse to eat no matter what.
Fair enough, thanks for the information! I was just going based off what I’ve heard Ukrainians say about that subject is all.
Its just “Ukraine” not “The Ukraine”
Because the neighbours with nothing better to do vote in every single election and are therefore more important to not piss off. Fuck NIMBYs.
I mean, hollandaise sauce is delicious, but to put that on poutine? Heresy!
I’m extremely disappointed that a Canadian restaurant would serve that anti Canadian garbage. A poutine is a sacred thing and should never be altered, that’s ground’s for the death penalty if you ask me.
You’re just straight up wrong. Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.
The leafs suck? Welcome honorary Canadian! Come join us on Tuesday to hopefully see the leafs choke yet again against Boston!
BTW, to trigger a good chunk of Canadian’s, just say you made a poutine but used kraft singles (aka American cheese) instead of cheese curds.
I hate myself for even typing that last part.
Add hamburger into the KD and then ketchup becomes acceptable, even encouraged IMO.

Great question!
No, the Sun’s diameter will expand greatly but it’s mass will remain mostly the same, if anything it’ll be ejecting significant amounts of stellar matter when it turns into a red giant and will be losing mass.
Mass is what dictates the gravity of a given object. If you replaced the sun with a black hole of the exact same mass, everything in the solar system would retain its exact same orbit outside of those few unfortunate objects that were very close to the sun (much closer than Mercury) when it got swapped out for a black hole of the same mass.
So even though the Sun will eventually swell up into a red giant and eat most, if not all of the inner planets, it’s gravity will remain the same despite its massively increased diameter, and its gravity will get weaker as the red giant ejects stellar matter over its relatively quick life. Eventually it’ll eject its outer layers, creating a new nebula thanks to the star ejecting all of its outer layers and leaving behind the dead core of a star called a white dwarf. These dead stars are often similar in size to the Earth but typically have a mass close to that of our sun.
To add to this, the sun will expand into a red giant in approximately 5 billion years, which is likely to consume both Earth and the Moon. This will happen before the Moon is able to leave Earth’s orbit, so it’ll shrink in the sky but odds are it won’t leave the Earth’s orbit before both are destroyed by the expanding sun in the future.
On top of that, the sun is slowly getting hotter as it gets older, so in approximately 1 billion years, the sun will have gotten hot enough to render most, if not all of the Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.
Space is fascinating.
Admins of .ml are trash as well.
